Surge tank above the village of Žirovnica - view point
The surge tank above the village of Žirovnica, with its intriguing façade that can be seen from a great distance, was built in 1914 for the Završnica hydropower plant and later used by the Moste hydroelectric power station. Water from the Završnica reservoir flows into the 16-metre-high surge tank and flows out through a 900-metre-long pipe and into the engine room of the power plant. There are steps leading to the top of the water reservoir which serves as a magnificent viewpoint.

From the lake, around which leads well-settled walking path and trim trail, a beautiful view opens up towards surrounding mountains, and towards the west a nice view opens up towards the Julian Alps, where we can see Triglav and few surrounding mountains.
